Mike ...nock them death ...well ....oh ...uhuh ...break a leg ....oh ...(even worse) ...anyway  ...enjoy yourself!
 
Sam ...visiting the past is a good thing as for looking how to straight out a line right through where you are now to the future. I mean to say ...you're definitley up to some new band-mates for playing together so ...it seems quite logic and good that you rerun something of your past ...a question of taking a good start!!!
 
Paul the bad one

Boy, Oh Boy!
 
I'm playing an acoustic show with Noah Gabriel at River Lane in Geneva, IL this Saturday starting at about 9 pm. It might be just we two or there might be a percussionist. I'll be playing my fretless Epic through a G&K Backline 110 (a remarkable little amp).
 
Hope to see some folks out
 
Mike

Mike,  
 
I don't know about this Saturday, but somewhere I read about you playing on May 29th.  If you can, please give me the info on that gig.  I think you mentioned playing with another band you're in.  Something about Dead tunes.  If it is still on and close by, I will check it out.  
 
Later,
 
Kevin  

Hi Kevin,  
Yeah, I'm playing with my Grateful Dead cover band, Ragweed, at The Onion Pub & Brewery on Saturday, May 29th from 8 pm to 11 or 11:30 pm (Time was revised) in their outdoor beer garden (or inside if it's raining). The Onion Pub is at 22221 Pepper Road in Lake Barrington (847 area code). The show is all mid-70s Dead tunes, and we split the show into two long sets.  
Meanwhile, Pickled BEATS has several shows booked into the summer that I'll be promoting as they approach.

And now it's time to LET THE PROMOTION BEGIN!
 
Pickled BEATS will be playing the beer garden at O'Brien's Pub & Grill (formerly Bistro America) at 12 N. River St. in Batavia several times this summer. The first date is Saturday, June 5th from 8:30 -12 pm. We had a great time here last summer, and we'll have some new original material, some new covers, and special guests as well.
Mike

Hey Mike:  Got a babysitter - we'll see you play tonight at the Onion Pub.
 
Bill

Excellent!
I'm putting a set of Thomastic Jazz Flats on my Distillate for this show, and I'll bring my fretted Epic as a backup. Kevin K said he's going to be there as well, so the night shoud be very cool!
(Showing my enthusiasm)  
 
Mike

Hi Mike:  Thanks for welcoming Nancy and me at your Ragweed show last night.  The bad rocked, but you and your Distillate sounded great!  I guess the combination of the Distillate and the TI Jazz flats (32 LOL) came as close as I've heard to Phil Lesh's Osaage Orange sound.  Sorry we had to leave during Lady with a Fan, but we had a long drive ahead of us.  Nancy wants to come down for at least one of the Pickled Beats dates, so you'll probably see us again then.
 
BTW.  Your Distillate looks great.  What is the top wood?  Koa?  It really stuck out - even from a distance.  It's a very pretty instrument.
 
Bill

Hi Bill, and thanks a million to you and Nancy for coming down. I really appreciate it. Thanks for your kind comments. We had a blast, and I got some good tape (minidisc). The TIs really do bring out the Old School sound, don't they? I was quite pleasantly suprised by how different the Distillate sounds compared to stringing with Rotosounds, or even DR. The top wood is Flame Koa.
Too bad we didn't get to play outside, but it was less than optimum. I hope you're staying dry! Keep encouraging Andy. It sounds like he's on a great start to communing with the Muse. I'll be happy to see you again.

More gigs!
 
This Thursday, PB's lead player, drummer and myself will be backing Noah Gabriel at Swedish Days in Geneva, Illinois from 5 pm to 7 pm on an outdoor stage next to River Lane pub. Noah is a young singer/guitarist with some really cool original tunes.
 
Then on Friday, Pickled BEATS returns to O'Briens Pub & Grill in Batavia from 8:30 pm to midnight in their beer garden. If the weather is inclement, we'll be inside.

Here's to some clement weather!

Correction for Friday's O'Briens gig - If the weather is inclement, we're cancelled (Yeech) So Hollis is exactly corrrect: Let's all hope for clementcy  
Mike

Fingers and toes are appropriately crossed!

Hey Mike,
 
How's the weather?  Can I uncross my toes yet?
